ANKARA, June 28 (Xinhua) -- At least 19 Islamic State (IS) militants were killed in northern Syria on Monday in military operations by the Turkish army and the U.S.-led anti-IS coalition, security sources told semi-official Anadolu Agency Tuesday.
35 IS targets, including Katyusha rockets, mortars and other weapon positions were destroyed in the airstrikes and shellings, according to the sources.
Turkey is set to install new air defense systems in its southeastern province of Kilis, as rocket attacks from IS-held regions across the border in northern Syria have killed over 21 people in the province this year.
